I think the reason they are rare in the A or B line amps is because back then having distortion capabilities in amp as opposed to having reverb and Tremolo was not as big a need / selling point for the average guitar player.

Even with the A series amps in 67 the holy grail was still to have the bucks for a Fender Twin rever with its 85 watts,.
If you had the money for that then why not go spend a little more and get a 100 watt Kustom with 2-15" drivers, far better reliablity and a hell of a lot more clean head room over the Twin!

What want to know is did John back then ever play thru a B series amp and find that he liked the A series better?
